The Chambers and Tourism Associations of Costa Rica together express their condolences and sorrow for all the disasters that occurred with the Ecuadorian people, mainly in the Province of Manabí and its cantons, on Saturday, April 16th.

After two earthquakes, lives were lost, many families are left in distress, and there have been injured who deserve all the attention.

Unified in this human pain, we have come together to collect funds with all the members and non-members of the Guilds, in order to lend a hand to our Ecuadorian friends.

Donation boxes will be distributed at various collection points of associations and hotels throughout the country so that they can make their donations, or they can be deposited into the current accounts of AVET (Voluntary Association of Tourism Executives), created 27 years ago, in support of Costa Rican social welfare projects and members of the Tourism Sector.

Both the donation boxes and the money collected in the accounts will be handed over in the presence of representatives of the Embassy of Ecuador and sent to their country.

They are being placed in the offices of the Chambers, Associations, and some Hotels.

– CANATUR: 200 meters east of Universidad Veritas-Zapote.
– ACOT: 200 meters east and 25 meters south of Universidad Veritas on the road to Zapote.
– CCH: From the first corner west of ICE in Sabana Norte, 300 meters north and 25 meters west.
